No way this gets overturned.

You were saying?

[alskntwnsfn]

Oh! I still think the TV crews are better at pulling up review footage than the NYC crew. Usually they have it dialed in one way or the other.

[alskntwnsfn]

Same goes for nfl reviews. I think fans usually have a better view than the refs. #balls/strikes

MLB's replay system does seem to work most of the time. Only a couple I've seen looked stupidly wrong.

[Jham]

I really like the way Nunez takes professional at bats.  I'm glad he's producing now that he's getting a chance.  He's fun to watch, easy to cheer for, and representing well for the so called expendable replacement level veterans.

[David HK]

Dah heck?  We took a lead and did not immediately give it back?  Are we trying hard enough to play  Twinkie-ball, or what?

[Riverbrian]

I'm with you

 

He gets spit on a lot and I honestly don't see the reason why. 

[alskntwnsfn]

That's my point though. There should never be a stupidly wrong. Just like I cannot abide by pitches right over the middle called as balls or pitches 8"outside called as strikes. It should not happen. Glad they got that one right though.

Wasn't it just a week ago it looked like Arcia had it figured out? Is he a head case or what? I vote "what" - as I really don't know.

[ashbury]

All the thrilling excitement of video challenge aside, and notwithstanding Park's good recovery to juggle and hold onto the ball, this play was an example of why I'm not completely totally 100% fully outright sold on Escobar as a defensively solid shortstop.

[alskntwnsfn]

Detwiler... yeah, there was no RPs available. Ugh.

[alskntwnsfn]

If he can replicate his offensive numbers from recent years I'm fine with what he can do in the field.

[alskntwnsfn]

Wow. Lindor!

[Riverbrian]

He forgets what made him good because he starts thinking he is good. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Wow. Lindor!

 

The Arm Strength in the game today is beyond words. 

 

Baseball keeps hitting a new level as we age. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Yes he is a head case.

 

He might also become a very good hitter. He needs to calm down and become more consistent. 

[DiscGolfer]

I leave to go for dinner and we take the lead, nice

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I thought for sure Suzuki would hit a home run that time.

 

 

/ not really

[DiscGolfer]

 

Yes he is a head case.

consistent and Arcia are 2 things I think will never go together

[Platoon]

Intentionally walking Joe Mauer to face Sano. Tis a strange world we live in, this 2016.

That was a no brainer. Taking Nunez crazy BABIP out of the equation, Mauer is the only guy on this team to currently fear.

[CampQ]

I thought for sure Suzuki would hit a home run that time.

 

 

/ not really

 

Who hits a home run first? Suzuki or Buxton?

[DiscGolfer]

 

Who hits a home run first? Suzuki or Buxton?

they've both come close but I'm going with Buxton now that he's facing AAA pitching

[Riverbrian]

 

Who hits a home run first? Suzuki or Buxton?

 

Does AAA Count? 

 

It's your game... I want to make sure I got the rules straight. 

[Riverbrian]

OK

 

Meyer Not in the Game

 

So... This Means that Meyer was late arriving or... Molitor doesn't trust Meyer and Terry Ryan called him up for nothing. 

[tobi0040]

Is Meyer there? Or we can't pitch him in a tight game.

 

Because God knows, with the talent in this pen, 16 inning games, etc we need another once a week guy back there

[DiscGolfer]

Meyer must be the new closer

[DiscGolfer]

does anybody really know how a balk is called, really?

[nicksaviking]

Danny Santana with the luckiest 15 minutes in the history of sports:

 

1. not charged with throwing error previous inning

2. credited with base hit on clearly booted ground ball

3. picked off first but ruled safe, survives a replay that showed pretty clear he was out

4. awarded second base on a balk

 

You can't make it up. Maybe he is the good luck charm the Twins need!

Yeah that was pretty lucky.

 

But the luckiest 15 minutes goes to the time Oris Nixon, the ugliest human ever, stole Sugar Ray Leonard's wife, Juanita.

[Riverbrian]

Some Umps just like to call balks because

 

Well they just do

 

Trying to increase the size of their footprint in the game is the only thing I can think of. 

[tobi0040]

I really love the in game division updates Dick gives. As if we are paying close tabs on the division race
